0B004 Plant for the production or concentration of heavy water,
deuterium and deuterium compounds and specially designed or
prepared equipment and components therefor, as follows:
a. Plant for the production of heavy water, deuterium or
deuterium compounds, as follows:
1. Water-hydrogen sulphide exchange plants;
2. Ammonia-hydrogen exchange plants;
b. Equipment and components, as follows:
1. Water-hydrogen sulphide exchange towers fabricated from
fine carbon steel (e.g. ASTM A516) with diameters of 6 m
to 9 m, capable of operating at pressures greater than or
equal to 2 MPa and with a corrosion allowance of 6 mm
or greater;
2. Single stage, low head (i.e. 0,2 MPa) centrifugal blowers or
compressors for hydrogen sulphide gas circulation (i.e. gas
containing more than 70 % H 2 S) with a throughput capacity
greater than or equal to 56 m 3 /second when operating at
pressures greater than or equal to 1,8 MPa suction and
having seals designed for wet H 2 S service;
3. Ammonia-hydrogen exchange towers greater than or equal
to 35 m in height with diameters of 1,5 m to 2,5 m capable
of operating at pressures greater than 15 MPa;
4. Tower internals, including stage contactors, and stage
pumps, including those which are submersible, for heavy
water production utilising the ammonia-hydrogen exchange
process;
5. Ammonia crackers with operating pressures greater than or
equal to 3 MPa for heavy water production utilising the
ammonia-hydrogen exchange process;
6. Infrared absorption analysers capable of on-line hydrogen/
deuterium ratio analysis where deuterium concentrations are
equal to or greater than 90 %;
7. Catalytic burners for the conversion of enriched deuterium
gas into heavy water utilising the ammonia-hydrogen
exchange process;
8. Complete heavy water upgrade systems, or columns
therefor, for the upgrade of heavy water to reactor-grade
deuterium concentration.
